AIWB- The Path to Performance 2-Day Course (Irons or Optics Accepted) / Los Angeles, CA / March 7-8, 2026

Effective immediately MSP will no longer allow Sig P320 in class. We can supply you with a loaner gun with optic and holster if needed. Please email info@modernsamuraiproject.com if you require a set up for class.

Day 1
Explore the efficiency and ergonomic advantages of Appendix Inside-the-Waistband (AIWB) concealed carry in our 2-day AIWB Path to Performance course. Day 1 covers a course introduction, safety briefing, and a deep dive into AIWB gear setup and its performance implications. You'll examine body mechanics, grip, and recoil control, and practice draws from various ready positions. The day concludes with an applied understanding of Fitts’s Law to improve target acquisition.

Day 2
Building on Day 1, students refine skills through advanced AIWB techniques: drawing while moving in all directions, drawing from seated positions, and reloading from concealment while stationary and on the move. The course ends with a pressure-based competitive stage to test and apply learned skills.

Note: Black Belt patch opportunities may be offered at the instructor’s discretion.
